Preliminaries to Assessment correctly
answered to pass
Confronting stuttering - correct answer ✔✔Talking about stuttering, emulating it, and being aware of
what's happening during the moment of stuttering. These activities can be engaged in by either the
clinician or client, when appropriate. These activities and others are thought to reverse the tendency to
run away from stuttering that may make stuttering worse.
Continuing assessment - correct answer ✔✔Measurement and evaluation of changes the client is
making/has made over the short and long term.
Duration - correct answer ✔✔The length of time, usually in seconds, that a stutter lasts. From my
perspective, this includes the time when forward movement of speech is halted; Therefore the moment
of the actual block, prolongation, or repetition is measured as well as the time taken by various starters,
postponements, and other secondary behaviors.
Empathy - correct answer ✔✔The capacity to understand another's perspectives, beliefs, and emotions.
Having this capacity to some degree allows the clinician to undertake appropriate treatment and to
develop trust between themselves and a patient - a prerequisite for change.
Evidence of reliability - correct answer ✔✔Data suggests that a procedure or measurement tool
produces approximately the same result when used by different individuals or the same individual at
different times.
Feelings and attitudes - correct answer ✔✔Feelings are the transient emotions experienced by the
person who stutters, especially regarding the experience of stuttering and perceived listener responses.
They can vary from one time to the next. Attitudes are more long-lasting; They reflect the stutterers
beliefs about how people perceive them and how they perceive themselves in regard to their stuttering.
Health insurance portability and accountability act of 1996 (HIPPA) - correct answer ✔✔Legislation that
created national standards to protect the privacy of patient information and still allow access to that
information for the safety and proper treatment of patients.
